Out, the Kalloy clamp at 65g

In, a Kona clamp at 41g

Out, a Deore rear QR at 78g

In, an XTR rear QR at 64g

Staying, the Shimano 8 speed cassette at 300g

Not joining us, an XTR M900 at 311g


Add to that the frame weight of 1460g
The rear swing assembly at 1497g
The rear shock at 334g
And the worst offender; the Rock Shox Judys at 2310g

Today we discovered the following;

Cheap as chips Avid V brake levers weigh 151g

And that XTR M950 V brake levers weigh 169g (but you can feel the quality)

And the no brand V brakes are 396g

Whilst the XTR M951’s are 394g! They don’t quite balance the books do they? Never mind, XTR it is….


So far we have;


And in old money; 1lb 7oz so technically just taking us back under 30lb....just :roll: :facepalm:

Last (I promise) but not least… the tyres & tubes….

The Maxxis UST tubeless “Medusa” weighed in at 650g each and the regular tubes inside them another 196g on top!
Replacing them with the Ritchey WCS 1.9 Z-Max evolutions (460g) combined with a Schwalbe lightweight tube (137g) has netted us the biggest saving by far at nearly half a Kilo…
